Teterboro Airport in New Jersey known as among the busiest business aviation facilities, has seen traffic drop dramatically during the pandemic, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen told lawmakers. But Bolen said even so the industry needs to be ready for a rebound once the pandemic eases.
While 2020 was an “epically challenging year” for the industry as a result of Covid-19, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen stressed to lawmakers on Tuesday that the aviation community must press forward on issues such as infrastructure for emerging technologies, workforce, and sustainability to be on a stronger footing once the pandemic eases. Bolen joined General Aviation Manufacturers Association president and CEO Pete Bunce and four other panelists before the House aviation subcommittee during a hearing on the ramifications and recovery from Covid-19.
